To Edwin, Chris and anyone else interested,
I have created a project based IDE (PowerIDE) with ALL the features mentioned!, it is currently at testing stages and is 98% complete, all that I need are people to download and test it.
I think that it will be a hit - its got nearly everything!
If you are interested in testing it, please e-mail me for a copy, after testing I will post it on my website for FREE download to anyone who wants it, my e-mail address is in this message signature.
Meanwhile I'll answer some of your questions...
Edwin,
PowerIDE has got an 'Project Explorer' toolwindow with the project files and functions - you just click on a function to edit or view it!
PowerIDE has project files (they have a .PRG extension to avoid any confusion), the project file contains your source files and various other settings - command line, primary source file, etc. etc.
In PowerIDE, you can change nearly all aspects of the editor font (Type, size, bold, italic, underlined, forecolor, backcolor) and have syntax highlighting (also define those syntax colors)
Not currently implemented, but maybe in the future (doesn't sound too hard to implement).
In PowerIDE, the 'Project Explorer' is activated with F7 key.
PowerIDE: DONE ! :grin:
Chris,
In my PowerIDE, multiple functions are added to the 'Project Explorer', you can determine which ones by the line numbers, which are also present.
Maybe the only thing missing is a Symbolic Debugger, I never use it anyway, but if you require symblic debugging you could always go back to PB5.EXE.
As you may tell, I have tried to emulate the VB and VC editors with my own, I've spent three weeks on this program so far and its coming along very nicely, although there may be teething troubles using it on other setups (it was developed on '98 - not the most fussy of OS's).
Again, if anyone is interested in testing this fine program, then e-mail me at the address below.
I have included a screenshot on my site @ www.kgpsoftware.freeserve.co.uk/products/poweride/PowerIDE.gif
Thanks for reading,

Edwin,
1) As mentioned earlier, a small project box instead of the topmenu.
2) Making use of a .MAK file, this should set the primary module once and for all.
3) And please! VB has bad support on this too. Make sure any person can set the font and background completely to his own needs! I program a lot in my custom made project Database, i have set the backcolor to... GREEN yes green, it's the only friendly looking color wich saves my eyes after several hours op programming. (Forecolor = white) So, don't forget fontbold etc..
4) The procedure combo is not following on my cursor position.
5) F2 in VB3 shows a small popup dialog with the procedures to jump to. Don't underestimate this, this is a very quick way to jump. VB replaced it for the object browser.. BAD!
6) F5 for compiling.These remarks are not a big a problem i guess.I can live without the above except point 3.The white is just to bad, my monitor's brightness is allmost 25% now.(Isn't there a patch for setting the hBackground class used?)
Chris,
Because PB allows conditional compiling, it is quite possible to
have multiple versions of the "same" procedure, so whatever
mechanism is used for "listing" and "finding" the procedures/functions
must take this into consideration.
